Rain

*************
Had a northern lad
Well, not exactly had
He moved like the sunset
God, who painted that?
First, he loved my accent
How his knees could bend
I thought we'd be okay
But I feel something is wrong
But I feel this cake just isn't done
Serge.
I remember seeing him for the first time, face to face, in the Viper Mansion. He was so determined...filled with such bravery. Not to mention that he looked cute. I guess I did fall for him. That's why I decided to help him...and maybe he would love me too.
But it never happened.
He loved that flea-infested dog instead.
Well, I'm not exactly sure if he loved Kid. But it was obvious that he would choose her over me. I never knew what she had that I didn't, and I still don't know to this day. Whatever it was, deep inside, even though I might never admit it, I wish I had it.
Don't you say that you don't
And if you could see me now
Said if you could see me now
Girls, you've got to know
When it's time to turn the page
When you're only wet
Because of the rain
It was midnight in Arni Village. Things had went back to normal, even though Serge knew his life was an illusion. Harle had gone to visit him, despite the looks the villagers gave her. Kid had been there too. She knew Serge had loved her instead.
Her tears fell onto the midnight sea, ruining the reflection of the full moon in the water.
"Why...must t'is happen...Serge."
Suddenly, there was a tap on her shoulder. She turned around, blue eyes meeting red. Harle hid her tear-stained face from him, some of her makeup washing away.
"......Harle?" said Serge in an almost whisper.
"Moi iz okay, Serge." Her voice was as choked up as ever.
"....Harle...you're crying..." he whispered.
"Non...moi d'accord..." At that, her tears just came out. She proceeded to wipe them away, and ended up wiping off her makeup instead.
Don't you say that you don't
And if you could see me now
Said if you could see me now
Girls, you've got to know
When it's time to turn the page
When you're only wet
Because of the rain
Serge was a bit surprised when Harle's makeup was gone. There stood a woman more beautiful than Kid herself. He blinked twice, then smiled as he placed his hand on her shoulder. Harle turned her head away.
"Serge...the world iz saved, mon ami. Can you make your choice? Iz it Kid or moi?"
He wasn't sure what to say. Serge had felt something for Kid during their whole mission, but he knew it was just an illusion. He never knew exactly who he had loved, until he thought of her...
Of Harle.
"Serge...who will it be?" Serge took her chin into his hand. Slowly, but softly, he kissed her. Harle's eyes opened wide, and she deepened the kiss.
".....Harle." he whispered.
And suddenly, she felt whole. The emptiness inside her heart was filled, and she knew that with Serge, she would never be lonely or scared every again.
And the rain fell.
Because of the rain...
